Bible Note: Read through the laws in the OT. You will note that they themselves report that they cannot save a person but only condemn. However, also written there, you will find that it states over and over, "The forgivenes of sin is by the sheading of blood". Let's say its a loop-hole. Jesus came and completed this. The punsihment for sin is death. Jesus was without sin. We know that one person can take the place of another for a crime if that person is first not guilty, second willing, and three the parent. First Christ is not guilty. Second, he went willingly; he was not murdered. And third, He is God in the flesh of mortal man. If this was not enough, then consider this. Many say that the Law has presidence since it came first. However, it did not come first. Look at the Bible from Adam till the time of Moses. Over and over you will find where the Holy Patriarchs are considered righteous by their faith in God as living and real, right and final. Abraham married his half sister. Jacob married two sisters. Noah got drunk. These are sins by the Law. But God showed grace to them, pardonning them and extending righteousness to them. Or did you think the whole goal was to become without sin? Then keep in mind that when we die we will be without sin, but we will not be righteous except for our heart turned from rebellion to God through Christ. |
